Man stabbed outside Cowboy's deli

A 40-year-old Taunton, Mass. man was attacked with a knife and a baseball bat during an altercation in the Bayberry Court parking lot around 10:30 p.m. Thursday night, police said.

According to police, the dispute originated at the Bamboo Super Club on Chin's Way when the alleged victim left the bar after having an argument with another man. He was then followed by the suspect to the Bayberry Court parking lot.

After another verbal argument in the parking lot, the suspect, Osagie Doyle, 22, allegedly went to his vehicle, retrieved a knife and attacked the victim, who was able to disarm Doyle, but was slashed on his hand in the process, police said in a press release.

Doyle then went back to his car, retrieved a baseball bat, and again went after the victim, striking him in the head and knee.

After the second attack, the victim was able to escape, summon police and hide from Doyle until officers arrived.

The victim was transported to Nantucket Cottage Hospital and treated for lacerations considered to be non-life-threatening.

Doyle was arrested, released on personal recognizance and will be arraigned Monday in Nantucket District Court on a charge of assault and battery on a dangerous weapon.
